The Muslimgauze Preservation Society (TMPS01)
Muslimgauze Preservation Society, release 01
Fathom Distribution, on behalf of the Muslimgauze Preservation Society, are pleased to offer, numbered limited edition hand silk screened retro-Muslimgauze posters. The color is predominantly black on manila with bits of gold, green, and brown mixed into the ink. Each poster is hand-numbered and printed on thick, manila tag stock. The image is a collage very much in the style Bryn Jones used for his album/cassette sleeves, letters, and zines during the 80′s. In fact, all the art work is by Bryn Jones, both previously used and unpublished images—’remixed’ by Toronto poster artist, Michael Comeau. Comeau is considered a ‘photocopy machine virtuouso’ who like Jones, eschews computer based design in favor of a more ‘ransom note’, hands-on approach. Comeau spent much time and effort to assemble these gorgeous 18 by 24-inch posters of no more than 300. Each copy comes with ‘liner notes’ that delves into Jones’ little known history as a graphics designer along with commentary by Comeau. $25.99 + shipping. Discount applied when you buy something else.
The Muslimgauze Preservation Society are a collective who intend to preserve the legacy of the late Bryn Jones through reprints of early art works and re-release of out-of-print (and previously unreleased) music in unique, highly collectible packaging. The poster you see is their first release. Fathom Distribution was selected to disseminate offerings on behalf of the Society.
